Hickeys?

AKA Lovebites

What's your opinion on them, trashy/tacky?

My girl gave me one and said "it was the mark of a taken man", since we just recently started going out.

Not that I mind at all =), what's everyone elses view on them?

 

I love hickeys. I like giving and receiving them. My boyfriend doesnt though and i dont know why. Maybe he doesnt want other women knowing hes taken or something.lol. I hope he doesnt think that. Anyways i wish he would give me some more often when i dont have to appear in court anymore and i wish he would let me give him some since he never does. It makes me so sad. hehe.

 

i like them because of how they feel when you recieve them. i hate them because then everyone asks and i have to tell my dad it was a blowdryer or something. thing is my hair is so much shorter where the mark is. but they feel so gooooood

 

Their gross ugly and very disturbing to look at. Also have you researched that they can cause cancer?? Have you ever seen a really pretty girl smoking and she didn't look so pretty w/ that one smoke in her hand .. well thats what it looks like with hickeys.

 

i think theyre pretty trashy tbh. i mean, they can be fun to receive, but since i ask to not get them they come across as the mark of someone not respecting my wishes (for my body, that is). on others, well, depends on their age. under 18 means theyre probably getting into their sexuality still, and theyre still not techniaclly adults. but over 18, adults and such, tacky. especially if the person in question is working in the public like retail or something... it just makes them seem as far from classy as possible

 

How would some broken blood vessels cause cancer? Please explain this b/c this claim is rediculous.

Peace and love

 

i think they are gross.. and hickeys dont necissarily show taken.. per say.. =]

 

I think they look pretty trashy, like the person is trying to say "Look at me! Someone finds me sexually attractive!" There are ways to get the same feeling without leaving a mark, after all.

I do know a really good technique for getting rid of them overnight though.

 

Do tell.

 

I like them but not in visible areas, for one thing they're not acceptable at my job, and when you get around your partners parents, yeah, that's a good time, but if my boyfriend can put them in other places that's no problem for me

 

You basically just rub the shit out of it for 5-10minutes straight with something hard like the edge of a spoon. I'm not exactly sure how it works, but you can actually see the little red dots being spread out underneath your skin, reducing the centralized redness. My guess is that it distributes the dead cells in a way that makes the body re-absorb them faster, or something like that. A little vaseline or other slick substance helps the spoon glide across the skin more easily. It kind of hurts and the whole area turns red, but if you do it before bed, by morning it should be almost completely gone.

 

Yeah, I enjoy em but it's better to get them in places that aren't very visibile.

It's a nice reminder of the good times I have with my girl

 

I like the way you think.
